Underground Magazine's Critics' Choice

Having taken control of the Comedy section, the team behind Underground Magazine compromise with Time Out's regular comedy editor Ben Williams to highlight the best stand up, satire and more in London this week.

Underground's choice

Look out for the second issue of this new satirical freesheet, or download a copy at undergroundmgzn.com. They definitely didn’t force me to put them as No 1 Critics’ Choice! (Can you ungag me now? ‘Just keep typing, Ben.’)

Flashmob stakeout to find out if Andrew’s been sleeping with that slag Kirsty while I’ve been at work compiling listings. I’ll mostly be quaking with rage or crying hysterically but it’ll still be fun, though. Arrive early for a good spot in the best bushes.

Quirky and delightful sketch shows by some people who went to Oxbridge and now want to write for 'Have I Got News For You'. Featuring a guy saying ‘Banter!’ on stage for 45 minutes, followed by a series of jokes about the Bodleian Library, Christ Church College and the charming minutiae of being rich, white and male.

Some dubstep wunderkinder presents an evening of face-melting music to honour the HRH Elizabeth II’s 60 years on the throne. Special guests include Princes William and Harry, who will crunk for three hours to the underground smash, ‘Flobadob’.

A side-splitting few hours spent with some of the most important financial traders of their generation. They’ll be asking for volunteers from the crowd to come up and hand over their mortgages, so make sure you don’t sit in the front row. We predict laughs galore – as well as negative growth for at least two consecutive quarters! *Children under 12 will pay off the debt for generations.
